how would you describe this album?

If you like your Tim Berne with more lively electronics and a healthy dollop of noise, then you’ll like Son of Goldfinger, as well as Torn’s Prezen. But if you’re expecting this will sound like Torn’s work with Sonar, or his solo work like ‘Sky’ or ‘Mercury’ then you might be disappointed. Goldfinger is not Tim’s outing but his strong presence is certainly there. I wasn’t disappointed in any of the above.

Thanks. Know Formanak well, saw him in small club settings several times. Always a delight.

Now, for this:

Much appreciated Lester.

Your post has introduced me to a fascinating musician who'd flown completely off my radar until now.

You’ve sent me on an all-afternoon Guillermo Gregorio bender, Andolink. The Hatology cds are my favorite.

I put an order in for the New World recording entitled Coplanar with the MADI ensemble, et. al., based on some sound clip sampling. The Hatology disc called Iconicity sounds intriguing too.

Wish I could attend the Guelph Festival

. It'd be a great way of getting out of the heat of Scottsdale.

Are you based in Canada?

No, not yet.

But I can see Canada from my house. Well, almost. I’m in Rochester.
